Siheyuan, don't mess with me

After dinner, he lay on the bed, his stiff body lying on the bed, groaning in comfort! At this moment, this body finally belonged to him!

Yan Jiecheng was woken up by Li Ruihua at eleven o'clock. He ate some steamed corn bread and drank some hot water. He didn't dare to drink too much water because there were not many steamed corn breads. These were left over from his lunch. Otherwise, there would be no steamed corn bread. Yan Bugui's distribution system was very strict!

I have to put on these smelly cotton pants. There is no other way. I only have this one pair of cotton pants and have no other options. I have to wear them, otherwise I can’t stand it at night!

After checking the things he was going to bring, Yan Jiecheng set off with full confidence. When he walked to his queue position, he found Yan Bugui squatting on the ground, while a little fat man was standing in his position!

"You stole my seat!" Yan Jiecheng was furious. He clenched his fists and rushed forward. Before he could get in front of the fat man, he was stopped by Yan Bugui. "Jiecheng, stop fighting. We have no right to argue!"

"How can it be unreasonable? This is the queue I was standing in, and he snatched it away. How can he be right?" Yan Jiecheng was almost going crazy. He had been waiting in line for a whole day, and his spot was snatched away by someone!

The fat boy looked at them with his eyes slanted but said nothing. He had taken advantage and now he didn't want to add fuel to the fire. The right thing to do was to queue up honestly!

Yan Jiecheng shook off Yan Bugui's arm, rushed to the fat boy, pointed at his nose and said, "Get out of my way, this is my seat!"

"I'm sorry, I bought this position. The comrades from the steel mill security department just said that it was your father's fault, not mine! It was your father who sold the position! He was illegally reselling it!"

The fat boy's words made Yan Jiecheng feel as if he was on the edge of an abyss. He was shattered. He was gone for just a few hours. He had worked hard to queue up for a whole day, and now his job was gone? He was even sold by his own father. How could Yan Jiecheng accept this? Yan Jiecheng roared angrily at Yan Bugui.

"Dad, what's going on? Tell me!"

"Jiecheng, why don't we go home and talk about it!" Yan Bugui lowered his head, not daring to look at Yan Jiecheng.

"Go home, go home, how can I sign up? You have ruined my whole life!" Yan Jiecheng squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.

"Jie Cheng, stop crying. It's still not too late to line up now. I counted and the line is not long! Let's get in line quickly!

"Tell me what happened first. Anyway, it has come to this. Explain to me clearly what happened?" Yan Jiecheng stared at Yan Bugui with bloodshot eyes.

Yan Bugui lowered his head and said nothing. "Tell me quickly, why did you sell my position? How much did you sell it for?"

"I sold it for fifty!" Yan Bugui said in a low voice.

"Can't we return the money? Can't we just not sell it? Dad, this is my lifelong business!" Yan Jiecheng pulled Yan Bugui and shook him vigorously.

"That guy ran away. He didn't buy it from me!"

"Then buy it back for me!" Yan Jiecheng stared at Yan Bugui. If he wasn't his father, Yan Jiecheng would have gone up and fought him to the death!

"They won't sell it!" Yan Bugui shrank his head.

"Then let's call the police!"

"I reported it, and the steel mill security department came to handle it. The police station said this place is under their jurisdiction!"

"What did they say?"

"They said that I was reselling illegally, and confiscated the fifty yuan." When it comes to money, Yan Bugui's heart ached again. As for Yan Jiecheng's heart-wrenching pain now, he seemed not to feel it!

"Then why is he standing here, how come he is not punished?"

"The security department said that he didn't buy it from me, he was a victim! Since my position has been sold, it's no longer mine, it's his!"

Yan Jie was so dizzy that he stumbled and almost fell to the ground! Yan Bugui was greedy again and ruined his life! "Dad! Explain it to me carefully!"

Seeing that things had come to this, Yan Bugui had said everything he needed to say. If he didn't explain clearly, Yan Jiecheng would not let him off tonight, so he told him the whole story in detail!

When Yan Bugui saw that the fat man refused to give up his seat, he ran to call the police. When he arrived at the police station, the officer on duty told him that the matter should be handled by the security department of the steel rolling mill. They are in their factory area and have the power to enforce the law!

There was no choice, so Yan Bugui ran back. The comrade on duty at the security department of the steel rolling mill followed him to the scene. The little fat man then told the truth that he bought it from a big fat man for one hundred yuan!

I came late and stood at the back of the line. The fat man came up to me and said that my younger brother insisted on living independently, so he came to the line, but his family had arranged a better job for him. But my younger brother had waited in line for a whole day and didn’t want to waste it! So, he wanted to sell me! The fat man was tempted and bought it! After the fat man persuaded the younger brother, he gave up his position to him!

At this time, the matter was clear, and the comrades of the security department also made a judgment. The fat boy was cheated, but he was a victim and could continue to queue! Yan Bugui was illegally reselling and disrupting order. Not only was the fifty yuan confiscated, but Yan Bugui was also fined. Yan Bugui begged and cried, and played the victim, so the comrades of the security department did not fine him! Don't even think about your original position. If you make trouble again, Yan Jiecheng's name will be registered. Even if your name is reported, you will not be hired!

After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng was shocked and completely stunned. What a father who betrayed his son! I asked him to help stand in line, and just like that, for fifty dollars, he sold his life and ruined it!

Yan Jiecheng walked away in a daze, like a walking corpse without a soul. He walked backwards along the team, all the way to the end of the team, and stood there silently!

Yan Bugui followed him and watched him line up. He watched for about an hour. Seeing that Yan Jiecheng did not have any extreme reaction and just stood there, Yan Bugui hung his head and went home!

Today, people working at the steel rolling mill saw a strange spectacle. The unit was expanding its recruitment, and the employees were all aware of it, but they were only recruiting 500 workers. Yet there were 7,000 to 8,000 people lining up, and the long line was winding and stretched for several miles. Even those who knew the news late and rushed over in a hurry, the line was getting longer and longer!

It was said that there were 500 people, but as many as 150 were absorbed internally. The rest were people who had connections in various departments and asked for help. After excluding these, only more than 200 people were directly recruited. The comrade in the personnel department who was responsible for the registration form was very clear about it, but he was very smart. As long as the household registration, education, age and gender were suitable, anyone who came to register would fill out the form. But there was only one morning, and it would end at noon when get off work was over!

So, the comrades in the security department kept persuading people not to wait in line, because by the time it was their turn, it would be evening. But everyone held on to a glimmer of hope, what if? What if?

Yan Jiecheng was very unlucky. He lined up again in the middle of the night. When there were still dozens of people ahead of him, a loud speaker in front of him shouted, "Registration is closed! Registration is closed!"

Yan Jiecheng was not like the others, cursing angrily. He said nothing, lowered his head, walked back home, and fell asleep! The whole Yan family was filled with high-pressure gas, depression, dullness, and silence!

Yan Jiecheng lay there without eating or drinking until the next morning. "Jiecheng, don't be sad. Can't we still go buy some?"

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, hope appeared in his eyes. He immediately got up from the bed and took out the note Chen Zhiguo left for him. There was a name and address on it!

"Come on, Dad, let's go buy a job!"

"Jie Cheng, how can you buy a job now? The registration has just ended and you are in a hurry to buy it. Isn't this giving others a chance to raise the price? Going later will show that you are not in such a hurry and you can negotiate the price!" Yan Bugui was showing off his experience again!

"You're right to listen to me. Your father has a lot of experience in this area!"

"But what if they want to sell it?" Yan Jiecheng was worried. He wanted to buy the quota right away! However, the money was in Yan Bugui's hands. Without him, what could he use to buy it? Yan Jiecheng wanted to ask for money to discuss the price first, but Yan Bugui firmly disagreed. Since it involved money, he had to handle it!

"Don't worry! No, everyone who does business needs to compare prices from three different stores. Since they've given you the note, they will definitely wait for your quote and then choose the one with the highest price!" Yan Bugui comforted him.

"Then we didn't go. What if the price he offered was too high? Aren't we supposed to sell it to him?"

"No, we'll just give you the same price!" Yan Bugui said nonchalantly.

Yan Jiecheng waited anxiously for a whole day, and then at night, he and Yan Bugui went to the address. Who would have thought that the first thing they said when they got there was, "Sorry, you're late, the quota has been sold!"

Yan Bugui held the note and said, "Didn't we agree on this? Why did you sell it?"

"At that time, we agreed to give you one day so that you could raise the money, and the price was transparent and open! But you never came, and I waited for another day, but you still didn't come. I thought your name had been registered and you didn't need it anymore, so why would I keep it if I didn't want to sell it?" The other person was also very dissatisfied. Who could be happy after being stood up?

Seeing Yan Bugui holding the note and about to say something, the man snatched it away and said, "Have you read it? It says, 'Keep it until what date?'"

Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng looked down and saw that under the address, it said that it would be reserved until the registration day. That is to say, if they did not come to buy it, it would mean that they had chosen to register and were sure that their names could be registered and they did not want the quota. People even reserved it for a whole day, which was very thoughtful. If Yan Bugui did not stop them this morning, Yan Jiecheng could still buy it!

Yan Jiecheng completely collapsed. He rushed out of the door and ran away. Yan Bugui followed him but could not catch up. He could only see Yan Jiecheng running away and disappearing!

Am I really wrong?

Chapter 231 Yan Jiecheng wants independence!

Early the next morning, Chen Zhiguo saw Yan Jiecheng squatting at his doorstep. He looked haggard, old, decadent, with disheveled hair and untidy beard!

"Zhiguo, I'm sorry!"

"Brother Jie Cheng, what's going on?"

Yan Jiecheng sighed. How could he tell the father who was cheating his son? But Chen Zhiguo had helped him, so he had to give him an explanation. Besides, he was going crazy keeping all these things in his heart, so he wanted to find someone to talk to!

After listening to Yan Jiecheng’s story, Chen Zhiguo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He was probably in a dilemma!

"So what do you want to do now? Run away from home?"

"Anyway, I don't want to stay in this family anymore. My parents only care about money, and my brothers also demand benefits when they help me. There is no human touch at all. I want to leave this family and live alone. I have thought that if I live in this family, I will gradually become the person I don't want to be. Then, what about my children in the future? Will they become like me?" Yan Jiecheng did not sleep all night and stayed under the bridge hole. In the biting cold wind, he figured out some things!

"Brother Jie Cheng, what do you want me to help you with?"

"I want you to help me find a temporary job. I want to move out and live alone. I will save money and pay you back slowly!" Yan Jiecheng expressed his hope!

"Brother Jie Cheng, do you want to be farther away from home or closer to home?" Although the previous work indicators were gone, if Chen Zhiguo wanted, he could still get it easily. However, Chen Zhiguo thought that it was completely unnecessary. Everyone has his own way to go. He could only give limited help instead of taking on all the responsibilities and arranging everything. He was not that good!

"I want to be closer to home so that I can do some odd jobs when I have nothing to do. If it's too far away, I won't be able to make any connections!" In fact, Yan Jiecheng wants to be as far away from home as possible, but the conditions really don't allow it. He has lived in this area since he was a child, and now he has to go to an unfamiliar place and start from scratch, which is really a bit difficult!

Chen Zhiguo nodded and said, "Come with me. I will arrange a job for you today, but the job may not suit your taste!"

"It's okay, as long as it's work, I'm not picky!"

"Let's go then!"

The steel rolling mill is now expanding its recruitment, and the demand for temporary workers is not that high. They are only needed for logistical support, and there are basically no temporary workers in the workshop. New apprentices are recruited and trained, and then they can enter the workshop!

Chen Zhiguo went straight to Li Huaide and asked, "Who are you looking for? You want a temporary worker? This job is very hard, and the salary is not high!"

"He's just a neighbor, he doesn't need any special care!" Chen Zhiguo pointed it out directly, so that Li Huaide could make arrangements. Li Huaide tentatively said, "Now only the boiler room needs temporary workers to push coal back and forth!"

The old-fashioned steam boiler needs to transport the coal from the coal unloading yard to the boiler with a big truck and then pour it into the dump bucket. This job requires strength and most people can't do it. In addition, dealing with coal ash every day is very dirty! Many people dislike it and don't want to do it!

"Okay, as long as I can do it for a long time!"

"Don't worry about that. As long as he is willing, he can keep doing it!" Seeing that Chen Zhiguo had no objection, Li Huaide wrote a note and handed it to Chen Zhiguo, "This job is a little tiring and a little dirty, but there is an advantage, that is, unloading coal cars." The coal for the steel mill is pulled in by special trains. The coal is unloaded from the train cars to trucks at the special platform of the steel mill, and then pulled to the special coal yard of the steel mill for storage! There are special coal unloading workers to do this process, but this team has already been formed. If Yan Jiecheng rushes in, he will definitely be excluded!

The outer piece that Li Huaide mentioned is the coal yard from the steel rolling mill to the boiler room. This is a short route in the factory area. There are people loading trucks at the coal yard, and the unloading of coal here is arranged by the boiler room. One dollar per truck, and there are as many people as needed to do the work. If the shift is good and the coal is transported over time, you can earn an extra one or two dollars a day, and five or six dollars a month. It depends on whether you have the strength to do this job, and whether the old employees in the boiler room will guide you!

Li Huaide explained it briefly and Chen Zhiguo understood. He would talk to Yan Jiecheng about it later. The rest was up to him. Chen Zhiguo could only help him arrange it to this point!

"Zhiguo, thank you!" Yan Jiecheng was so moved that tears came to his eyes. Chen Zhiguo selflessly helped him twice. Compared with his two younger brothers, there is really a world of difference between them!

Yan Jiecheng went to the personnel department to handle the formalities. Anyway, with Li Huaide's note, no one should make things difficult for him. Even if someone did, he would need to solve it himself. Chen Zhiguo would not care!

Yan Bugui has been restless today, but luckily he doesn't have to go to class now, so he doesn't have to worry about saying something wrong. Sweeping the floor is not a big deal, it's just scratching the floor, it doesn't matter if you scratch a few more or a few less!

When it was time to get off work, Li Ruihua said anxiously, "The boss has moved away!"

"What? When?"

"I came back from grocery shopping this morning and saw him packing his things. He said he was moving out and left. Oh, and he said he would come back in a few days to split up the family and get his own household registration and food allowance!"

"You're really outrageous! Are you getting too powerful? I don't agree!" Yan Bugui slammed the table!

Seeing Li Ruihua's worried look, "Don't worry, he won't stay out there for long. He has no money, where will he live and what will he eat? How long can he stay? If you still want to split up the family, pay off all the money I've spent over the years first!"

Each of Yan Bugui's children has a separate account book. Yan Jiecheng's is the thickest, while Yan Jiedi's is the thinnest. Yan Bugui has been recording them since they were born. Every penny spent on them is clearly recorded in them!

Yan Bugui planned to take out this account book after Yan Jiecheng got a formal job. Then he could legitimately ask Yan Jiecheng to hand over his salary. Of course, paying back the money was one thing, and he also had to pay for accommodation and food. All of this had been calculated in Yan Bugui's mind!

Yan Bugui thought he could control Yan Jiecheng, but when Yan Jiecheng really came back to divide the family business, Yan Bugui realized that he was wrong and had underestimated Yan Jiecheng's determination!

Yan Jiecheng didn't have much money, so he didn't rent a house. He lived in the rest room of the boiler room, and used a few benches as a bed! Anyway, the temperature in the boiler room was high, so he didn't worry about being cold at night!

Although eating is a bit troublesome, it can be overcome. All you need to do is buy a few more steamed buns at noon and include them in breakfast and dinner. Even so, eating one more steamed bun at each meal is better than eating at home!

The boiler room operates in three shifts, which means 12 hours of work and 48 hours of rest. In addition, there is basically nothing to do during the night shift. All you have to do is make sure the boiler doesn't go out, so you have enough time to sleep! With this kind of working hours, Yan Jiecheng can go out to work as a temporary worker ten days a month!

After adapting for a week, Yan Jiecheng took a night shift and returned to the courtyard early!

"Son, come and have dinner!" Seeing Yan Jiecheng coming back, Li Ruihua hurried forward to greet him. Yan Bugui saw it, snorted coldly, and continued to eat breakfast!

As for his three younger brothers and sisters, Yan Jiedi greeted him and said, "Brother, what have you been doing these days?"

"Brother is going to work!" Yan Jiecheng touched his sister's head, "Eat quickly, you will go to school later!"

"Ok!"
